The answer to Q1 along with an explanation is shown in the picture;
Having a look at all the questions, they are all essentially the same type so can all be solved similarly;
So by following the method and explanation, you should be able to do the rest of the questions.
Answer:
-2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the image attached:
We see that the second differences (blue ones) are all equal so we conclude that this is a quadratic sequence.
The quadratic sequence has the form:
To find the value of a we just divide second difference ( -4 ) by 2:
Now we have:
Substitute 
and 
into the equation above:
Since 
= -2 and 
= -8 , after simplification we have:
The solution of this system is:
The general term is :
Answer:
The perimeter is 16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up all the sides together
1+1+7+7 = 16

Answer:
17.) x = 3
18.) x = -5
I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3
Step-by-step explanation:
All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.
17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17
17 = 8x -7 ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides
24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides
x = 3
18.) g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27
27 = -4x + 7 substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides
20 = -4x
x = -5
